Copperas Cove never got on the board in their matchup last Tuesday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Killeen on Friday. They blew past the Kangaroos 15-0. The result was nothing new for the Bulldawgs, who have now won eight contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Janell Gray made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Copperas Cove got a massive performance out of Isabella Hunt, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. Gabrielle Wilson was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.

Copperas Cove always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Killeen only posted an OBP of .077.

Copperas Cove has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. Killeen is on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-16.

Looking ahead, Copperas Cove will challenge Bryan at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Killeen, they will face off against Harker Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Harker Heights' pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so Killeen's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
